Cat on a cactus

What do you make of this picture? What's the cat looking at? How did he get there? What's the story behind this picture. It would make a wonderful challenge to ask a class of school children to let their imagination run wild and write a story to explain the picture.

Lest you think that cruetly was involved in taking this picture, this is the background to the image.

Scaredy Cat - The True Story

This bobcat leapt 50 feet up a prickly cactus and stayed there for six hours to escape from a mountain lion in the Sonoran Desert, Gold Canyon, Arizona. The terrified feline climbed to the top of the Giant Saguaro Cactus and was so scared it stayed there for several hours.
